Trattoria Del Bollito

A charming restaurant with a classic European feel and great attention to detail. The tartare and vitello tonnato were fresh and well balanced, and the boiled meat with vegetables and sauces was comforting and full of flavor. Calm service, cozy atmosphere, and a perfect place for a relaxed dinner with wine. Would happily come back

We were so happy to get a table here for lunch. Such delicious, home-cooked food… the pasta was divine, the salad fresh, and the pumpkin and truffle flan had a burst of flavor that tasted like joy and comfort. The ambience is a cozy, country vibe and a very unpretentious dining spot. We will remember this meal forever!

I love this place! Stumbled upon it my first time in Alba and make a point to visit every time I come back. They have truly craveable pastas, really reasonable local wines by the glass and carafe, and a slightly funky, fun atmosphere.

Our experience at La Trattoria del Bollito was nothing short of fantastic. We started with the Trio Antipasti, which featured tartare, Vitello tonato, and a delightful mushroom flan - an explosion of flavors. Our main courses, the Tajarin Tartufo pasta and the ravioli with fondue and truffle, were absolutely amazing. To top it off, the tiramisu was the perfect sweet conclusion to an exceptional meal.

We had lunch at Trattoria Del Bollito today and it was amazing. It has been one of best meals that we have had during our trip to Italy. We both had the Fettuccine with sausage and porcini mushrooms…yum! We were impressed that the entire skillet of pasta was brought to the table. It was great because the pasta stayed hot. Wine was delicious too! Service was great, very helpful, friendly and spoke English. Love the atmosphere and layout of the dining room with wine bottles displayed throughout. Highly recommend!!

Excellent osteria located just before Alba city center. I found every dish well prepared. pasta dishes were the best: we tried pasta with truffle cream and a second pasta with rabbit&pistachio ragù. The wine list does not offer many choices however there is a great selection of local wines. Price was ok.

When in Alba this is must eat at Osteria . Their pastas are all home made and fresh . Simone no nonsense comfort food . Their Tajarin’s are a standout dish . Some of the best I’ve tasted in Piedmont. Don’t miss this institution right in the Center Alba .

OMG - What a charming place! Loved the owner, charming staff, amazing food. Very relaxed and welcoming. I had the Gluten Free pasta with Rabbit and Hazelnuts. Outstanding. My friend had the wild boar papparadelle. She loved it. Please go here!

The first day we tried to come for lunch, they were fully booked. However, our hotel was able to help us reserve a table for 2 for lunch the following day. When you walk in, you notice that there's a grano padano cheese cart - I saw other people asking for some, so I did, too, and they gave me a nice chunk to nibble on. They spoke essentially no English, but we got by ok. It made me feel like it was more authentic (no English menu either). House wine was cheap - €6 for a 1/2 L; water was €3 for 750 ml. We decided to focus on pastas (€10 each): they all came in skillets, and this helped keep them warm. Portions were generous. - Gnocchi with castamagno and walnuts: I had never had castamagno until coming to Alba. It made for a nice creamy cheesy sauce. It would have been good with some black pepper - Tajerin with black truffles: probably my favorite. It's amazing to me that the pastas are so well sauced that each noodle is coated, but there's not a pool of sauce on the bottom - Fettuccini with boar and porcini: good flavor, but I still preferred the tajerin In the end, we finished with espressos, and they came by chopping off some pieces of chocolate and hazelnut for us to try. There were only around 10 tables, so definitely make a reservation. Bonus: clean bathrooms. Credit cards accepted. For two of us for lunch, it ended up being €46. I would definitely come back for some very reasonably priced comfort food pasta.
